From: Saravana Kannan <skannan@codeaurora.org>

Many CPU architectures have caches that can scale independent of the
CPUs. Frequency scaling of the caches is necessary to make sure that the
cache is not a performance bottleneck that leads to poor performance and
power. The same idea applies for RAM/DDR.

To achieve this, this patch adds support for cpu based scaling to the
passive governor. This is accomplished by taking the current frequency
of each CPU frequency domain and then adjust the frequency of the cache
(or any devfreq device) based on the frequency of the CPUs. It listens
to CPU frequency transition notifiers to keep itself up to date on the
current CPU frequency.

To decide the frequency of the device, the governor does one of the
following:
* Derives the optimal devfreq device opp from required-opps property of
  the parent cpu opp_table.

* Scales the device frequency in proportion to the CPU frequency. So, if
  the CPUs are running at their max frequency, the device runs at its
  max frequency. If the CPUs are running at their min frequency, the
  device runs at its min frequency. It is interpolated for frequencies
  in between.

Just as an FYI, I wrote this code a long time ago. I was planning on
rewriting the integration of CPU freq inputs to devfreq anyway because
notifiers are discouraged and I've had other ideas on how I could do
it. But I haven't dug into that yet.

Honestly I'd prefer waiting till the required-opps support for passive
governor patch is merged before digging too much into this. And I plan
to take a stab at this after that.

Thanks,
Saravana
